Title : Nuclear Energy
Author : Raymond L. Murray
Publisher: Butterworth Heinemann
ISBN : 0 - 7506 - 7136 - X
PDF | 516 pages | English

Nuclear Energy provides a comprehensive overview of all aspects of nuclear science and technology to students, nuclear engineers, and anyone with a need for knowledge of nuclear processes.It features extensive references to world wide web sites.

The book has been updated for the new millennium by reporting important trends. Fundamentals of particle physics, nuclear reactions, fission, and fusion are followed by descriptions of the devices of nuclear energy accelerators, isotope separators, detectors, and reactors. Numerous beneficial applications of radiation in medicine, research, and industry are discussed. Other topics treated are the assurance of nuclear reactor safety, the status of radioactive waste disposal, international nuclear developments, effects of deregulation of the electricity industry, the relationship of nuclear reactors to global climate change, and the prevention of weapons proliferation. The concluding chapter examines prospects for nuclear power.

The fast and easy way to get up-to-speed on alternative energy

Because of current events, geopolitics, and natural disasters, the cost of fuel is front and center in our lives. This book provides a concise look at all forms of energy, including fossil fuels, electric, solar, biodiesel, nuclear, hydroelectric, wind, and renewable fuel cells. You will get explanations, definitions, and analysis of each alternative energy source from a technological point of view.

From the Back Cover
There's no better time -- or easier way -- to LEARN about ALTERNATIVE ENERGY

Thinking about heating your home with solar power but don't know how it really works? Wondering what makes hybrid cars run? Alternative Energy Demystified shines the light on the various energy sources and technologies available today.

The book begins by covering a wide range of heat sources, including wood, corn, coal, oil, gas, electricity, and solar heat. Propulsion methods are discussed next, including gasoline, methane, ethanol, biodiesel, hydrogen, fuel cells, and more. Electricity from fossil fuels, water, wind, atoms, and other sources is also covered. Featuring end-of-chapter quizzes and a final exam, this illuminating guide explains the technical basics of many different forms of energy -- some that may surprise you!

This self-paced guide gives you:

* A thorough overview of the various sources of energy
* To-the-point explanations and detailed illustrations
* A quiz at the end of each chapter to reinforce learning and pinpoint weaknesses
* A final exam at the end of the book
* A time-saving approach to performing better on an exam or at work!
